    So if you’re familiar with the Overton Window, can you guess which way comments like this move it?*

    I’m not saying you mean ill. I’ve got a little bit of doomer in me too. Been there. But if you lose your capacity for hope and outrage you become an instrument of those that want to keep things shitty for us.

    *Only microscopically, but still. The hopelessness and helplessness add up.

      Comments like mine don’t move it at all boss.

      It’s not doomer, its accepting reality. No one said don’t try, I said don’t hold your breath.

      There’s no hopelessness, no helplessness. We don’t need the icc to reign in our own country, that’s on us to do and dreaming of a solution that’s not likely isn’t helping anything either.
